ECHA has now published a document detailing the knowledge requirements of the so-called SCIP database. Companies placing a writing containing an SVHC above 0.1% on the EU market are required to submit information from January 5th, 2021 onwards. A primary version of the SCIP database is available one year before this date.
Companies supplying articles containing substances of very high concern (SVHCs) on the Candidate List during a concentration above 0.1% weight by weight (w/w) on the EU market need to submit information on these articles to ECHA, as from 5 January 2021. The SCIP database ensures that the knowledge on articles containing Candidate List substances is out there throughout the entire lifecycle of products and materials, including at the waste stage. The knowledge within the database is then made available to waste operators and consumers.
